Chapitre 255: Clear As Ice And Clean As Jade Young Master Tang San (2)
After all, she'd always been so cold to Dai Mubai.
But the concern in her heart finally overwhelmed her shyness, looking at Dai Mubai who hadn't moved for a long time she started forward, carefully stepping in front of him. She wanted to call out but was afraid to disturb him, and was for a moment at a loss.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing raised her head to look at Dai Mubai, her eyes brimming with concern, Dai Mubai's eyes snapped open without warning, startling Zhu Zhuqing who cried out in surprise and stepped backwards, but almost fell over.
Dai Mubai reacted instantly, stretching out a hand and pulling her close flawlessly.
"You... Let go of me."
Zhu Zhuqing was blushing red, but clearly breathed out now that Dai Mubai was awake.
Dai Mubai smiled:
"You came on your own but still ask me to let go? Coming when you want, and leaving when you want?"
"You, you shameless... Let go of me quickly. Who came on her own?"
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head in Dai Mubai's arms and struggled with all her strength, but was still unable to throw off Dai Mubai's cast iron-like embrace. Even if her spirit power had increased considerably, how could she be a match for a power attack system Spirit Master like Dai Mubai?
Dai Mubai lowered his head next to Zhu Zhuqing's ear, whispering:
"You still care for me so much, don't worry, your husband is alright. It's all well."
"You..."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her head sharply, intending to ask Dai Mubai, 'Whose husband do you think you are?'
But she just met Dai Mubai's evil eyes. Dai Mubai's evil eyes were brimming with a sincere light, staring at her full of tender feelings.
It had to be said that Dai Mubai's evil eyes indeed had extreme killing power. Zhu Zhuqing only felt a burst of distraction and in the end didn't speak the words on her tongue, even softening somewhat against him.
Dai Mubai was inwardly exceptionally pleased. Being able to embrace this logical and cold Zhu Zhuqing made him even happier than having broken through the fortieth rank just now.
However, Dai Mubai couldn't stay cheerful for too long. The moment he relaxed his guard Zhu Zhuqing suddenly slipped out of his embrace and with a flicker had already moved to the side, staring resolutely at him,
"You should use flowery speech like that on those lovers of yours. Don't look at me with that expression."
"Eh..."
Dai Mubai smiled bitterly as he looked at her,
"Zhuqing, you can't be wasting effort on something trivial like that. Haven't you seen how pure I've been recently? Pure like Tang San."
Zhu Zhuqing snorted,
"When you can really be as clear as ice and clean as jade, untainted by a speck of dust as third brother, we'll talk again."
Tang San resisted a smile and hastily changed the topic,
"Mubai, did you break through?"
Dai Mubai looked somewhat helplessly at Tang San, saying:
"I've already broken through the bottleneck, and moreover my spirit power feels especially abundant. Perhaps after I've obtained a spirit ring I will still be able to advance a bit. Little San, when you have time, teach me how to be clear as ice and clean as jade, and untainted by a speck of dust..."
Perhaps it was because of the time he'd spent with the old freak Dugu Bo, but Tang San wasn't as guileless as before. With a slight smile he said:
"I'm afraid you might not have the chance. Unless you're still a virgin, how could you be described as clear as ice and clean as jade?"
Xiao Wu giggled, saying:
"Yeah, only my Ge can be described like that. Clear as ice and clean as jade young master Tang San. Young master Dai, you don't have the chance."
The words 'young master Dai' were precisely what the hotel manager had addressed Dai Mubai as the first time she and Tang San had met Dai Mubai with the twin sisters.
"Eh..."
Dai Mubai was immediately speechless. When he again looked at Zhu Zhuqing he finally caught a trace of a smile on her face. Instantly his heart came alive again:
"Xiao Wu, don't tease me like that. Let me tell you that virgins meeting virgins is just a painful affair. How about I impart some of my experience to little San later?"
Xiao Wu stopped smiling at once. Even if she was even more brazen she still wouldn't be a match for Dai Mubai. Her charming face instantly turned red and she hid behind Tang San's back, not daring to come out. Her small hands constantly twisted on Tang San's back.
Xiao Wu didn't notice that Tang San's gaze was somewhat absent-minded at this moment, apparently thinking of something, and the expression in his eyes somewhat hard to make out.
The great immortal treasure gifts Tang San had brought could be said to be the perfect endgame. Apart from Xiao Wu who had refused to eat the Yearning Heartbroken Red, everyone else had received considerable benefits. The strength of the Shrek Seven Devils had increased by a large chunk.
The one who had benefited the most among them wasn't Dai Mubai who had broken through the fortieth rank bottleneck, nor was it Zhu Zhuqing who had gained seven ranks of spirit power, but rather Ma Hongjun whose evil fire had been filtered and the impurities discarded.
Returning from washing up, Ma Hongjun was like a different person. Even though his eyes were still as small as before, and he was still the plumpest among the seven, he wasn't as bloated as he had been. With a heroic spirit in his expression, flickering within his gaze was a golden red brilliance that inspired awe in others.
Even when he didn't release his spirit, just by being near one could feel a hot air current from his body.
The reason for this was clearly because he didn't have full control after raising his spirit power.
Grandmaster returned together with Ma Hongjun, and on the surface he didn't seem any different than before. It was only when looking carefully one would discover that he seemed a few years younger, his skin more glossy, the atmosphere around him seeming even more reserved as he held Luo San Pao who seemed to have grown a size to his chest.
"Grandmaster. How do you feel?"
When Tang San saw Grandmaster returned he hastily greeted him and asked.
Grandmaster's expression seemed a bit eccentric,
"After more than thirty years. I didn't expect that I would actually reach what I had hoped for on this day. It seems I still underestimated external forces, I've broken through the bottleneck I've been stuck at for decades. My spirit power has finally reached the thirtieth rank."
Thirtieth rank, perhaps to geniuses like these little monsters it wasn't much, just another phase of their cultivation.
But to Grandmaster, the thirtieth rank threshold had already perplexed him for several decades. In order to break through the thirtieth rank threshold he had expended untold mental and physical effort. Now finally breaking through with the assistance of the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia left him with a both sad and delighted sensation that made Grandmaster feel somewhat strange. But breaking through was still a good thing, he could finally obtain his third spirit ring.
"Grandmaster, congratulations. Perhaps you will be able to cultivate rapidly after breaking through the thirtieth rank."
Grandmaster sighed,
"This year I'm already a bit over fifty. Spirit Master cultivation becomes more difficult the older one gets. Generally speaking, it gets very difficult to advance after sixty. Do I still have a few years? I've long since given up the dream of becoming a formidable Spirit Master. You all are my hope. Well, you seven stay here for now. Even though the efficacy of the herbs is good, you still can't slack off. The drugs you just took were so effective, stay here for the time being to cultivate and consolidate the strength you obtained to make it stable. In seven days me and Mubai will go to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings."
Grandmaster had everyone's admiration in the field of spirit research, and their own strength rising made them even more confident in their cultivation. Nobody doubted Grandmaster, and they nodded one after another.
Although Dai Mubai had already reached the fortieth rank, according to Grandmaster's theories, the Spirit Master world's Ten Great Core Competences, the spirit ring bottleneck didn't prevent Spirit Masters from increasing spirit power, the lack of spirit rings only prevented entering the next phase. Cultivation in the original phase, while unable to break through levels, would actually still cultivate spirit power and would show its effect after obtaining a spirit ring.
For instance, a Spirit Master who broke through the thirtieth rank bottleneck would require a spirit ring to enter the thirty first rank and become a Spirit Elder.
But if he never obtained a spirit ring and kept cultivating at the thirtieth rank, even though his spirit power would never reach the next stage, it would still be set aside. Once a spirit ring was obtained, this store would be released, promoting the corresponding level, just like when Tang San obtained his first spirit ring.
Over the next several days the Shrek Seven Devils all stayed at Liu Erlong's little log cottage to cultivate their spirit power, consolidating the great benefits the medicinal effects had brought them. Even Grandmaster was no exception. Every day Flender sent people with food, and in order to let everyone cultivate in peace he posted the two tyrannically powerful teachers Zhao Wuji and Lu Ji-Bin nearby the log cabin to protect them.
In the log cabin the Shrek Seven Devils plus Grandmaster sat in a circle, differently colored light flickering from each of them.
Different energies complementing each other.
Sitting in the middle was Dai Mubai, with black and white light shining around him, releasing an overbearing energy.
On Dai Mubai's left was Zhu Zhuqing, radiating with black light and an agile energy. On Dai Mubai's right was the Big Sausage Uncle Oscar, and the light he emitted was the strangest. After eating the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid his spirit power had become pink, such a light appearing on a male Spirit Master really made people feel a bit strange.
On Oscar's right was Tang San, mainly shining with white light, but within was gathered both red and blue. But the colors were very faint, and couldn't be distinguished unless looking carefully.
Next to Tang San was Xiao Wu with a deep red radiance, the Yearning Heartbroken Red between her hands, that delicate fragrance drifting in front of her, quietly cultivating.
